Have you ever wanted to drive a snowmobile off into a deep cave ?
The story below is a tragic one, but related to that: A scientist was killed in Antarctica when the snowmobile he was driving plunged into a crevasse on Saturday, October 22nd. Gordon Hamilton, 50, a University of Maine professor in the School of Earth and Climate Sciences, and a researcher with the Climate Change Institute, allegedly fell over 30 meters into the crevasse. Hamilton's body has been recovered. Personnel with the U.S. Antarctic Program have opened an investigation into his death. He was part of a team camped in a heavily crevassed area known as the Shear Zone, around 40 km south of McMurdo Station.
